Secure remote control of integrated controls for electrical devices

1. A light fixture comprising:

a local controller;

at least one sensor that measures at least one parameter, wherein the at least one sensor is unable to detect radio frequency signals, and wherein the at least one sensor is configured to receive a communication transmitted using the at least one parameter at a point in time;

an integrated control interface disposed on a housing of the light fixture and coupled to the local controller, wherein the integrated control interface allows for manual resetting of the local controller; and

an access controller communicably coupled to the local controller and the at least one sensor, wherein the access controller comprises a communication module that is unable to communicate using the radio frequency signals at the point in time, wherein the access controller is configured to:

receive the communication from the at least one sensor, wherein the communication comprises credentials and instructions to control the local controller;

confirm the credentials against data stored in a storage repository of the access controller, wherein the credentials indicate an authority to reset the local controller; and

reset, based on confirming the credentials, the local controller according to the instructions.

2. The light fixture of claim 1 , wherein the credentials limit an amount of resetting the local controller by the access controller compared to manually engaging the integrated control interface.

3. The light fixture of claim 1 , wherein the at least one sensor comprises a camera, and wherein the communication is transmitted as facial expression made by a user to the camera.

4. The light fixture of claim 1 , wherein the at least one sensor comprises a camera, and wherein the communication is transmitted as a series of gestures made by a user to the camera.

5. The light fixture of claim 1 , wherein the at least one sensor comprises a camera, and wherein the communication comprises a QR code generated by a user system of a user and presented on a display to the camera.

6. The light fixture of claim 1 , wherein at least one sensor comprises a microphone that receives and processes a sound parameter, and wherein the communication is transmitted as a series of sounds emitted by a user.

7. The light fixture of claim 1 , wherein the communication module of the access controller is able to communicate using the radio frequency signals prior to the point in time.

8. The light fixture of claim 7 , wherein the communication module receives the credentials in a prior communication transmitted using the radio frequency signals prior to the point in time.

9. The light fixture of claim 1 , wherein the local controller controls a light source for providing general illumination.

10. The light fixture of claim 1 , wherein the local controller controls a voice-activated device integrated with the light fixture.

11. The light fixture of claim 1 , wherein the communication is transmitted as a modulated light.

12. The light fixture of claim 1 , wherein the access controller is further configured to:

disable the integrated control interface upon resetting the local controller based on the instructions.

13. A system comprising:

a user that transmits a communication without using radio frequency signals; and

an electrical device comprising:

a device controller;

at least one sensor that measures at least one parameter within a communication range, wherein the at least one sensor receives the communication transmitted using the at least one parameter at a point in time; and

an integrated control interface disposed on a housing of the electrical device and coupled to the at least one device controller, wherein the integrated control interface allows for manual resetting of the at least one device controller; and

an access controller communicably coupled to the device controller and the at least one sensor, wherein the access controller comprises a communication module that is unable to communicate using radio frequency signals at the point in time, wherein the access controller:

receives, from the at least one sensor, the communication, wherein the communication comprises credentials of the user and instructions to reset the device controller;

confirms the credentials against data stored in a storage repository of the access controller, wherein the credentials indicate an authority to reset the device controller; and

resets, based on confirming the credentials, the device controller based on the instructions.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the integrated control interface of the electrical device is inaccessible to the user without assistance.

15. The system of claim 13 , wherein the communication is sent by a user system of the user, wherein the user system comprises a light source that generates a modulated light signal, wherein the communication is incorporated into the modulated light signal.

16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the light source comprises a flash of a camera.

17. The system of claim 13 , wherein resetting the device controller based on the instructions performs a subset of resetting functions relative to resetting the device controller using the integrated control interface.

18. The system of claim 13 , further comprising:

a network manager communicably coupled to the access controller, wherein the network manager manages the authority of the user to reset the device controller.

19. The system of claim 13 , wherein the communication module of the access controller is able to communicate using radio frequency signals at a later time that is subsequent to the point in time when the device controller is reset.

20. The system of claim 13 , wherein the communication is established during commissioning of the electrical device.
